Big, Black Ford

The air is electric
Big block 429
And the ground is a-rumblin' as she comes to the line
She got legs for miles
Man, she's mine, all mine, ooh yeah
Take the quarter mile in nine point nine
Boys say she can't play here
She is too damned fine
Fire her up, hear her roar
She'll blow off your doors
And everybody's gawkin' at the big, black Ford
Ooh, yeah

Her story begins 1971
When the sun went down
They'd let her out to run
Haulin' white lightnin' 'cross the county line, ooh yeah
Shakin' off the cops ain't no big thing
Rev up her engine; hear her sing
Devil dark, it hides well
She tore up the roads
And all the cops are lookin' for the big, black Ford

'Cause she's hot off the line
No matter what ya got
She gives you a helluva time
She's got the guts to take you on
Taillights in your eyes
Boy, she's gone
She's all that you been lookin' for
The big, black Ford

When I saw her there on the side of the road
With a 'for sale' sign in her window
Ain't ashamed to tell ya it was love at first sight
Turned the key; she sounded so mean
Punched the gas, she laid me back in the seat
Write a check, pay the man, I'm takin' her home
And I can't stop staring at my big, black Ford

Yeah, baby, she'll shake you all night long

If you want some attention, just climb inside
Honey, she'll give you one hell of ride
Strap yourself in
She'll do whatever you like
They all try to pass her just to get her name
She shrugs 'em all off; they're all the same
She's gone in a heartbeat
Just put your foot to the floor
And all the boys are starin' at my big, black Ford
